"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the United
States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and "forward-looking
information" under applicable Canadian securities laws. Except for statements
of historical fact relating to the Company, information contained herein
constitutes forward-looking statements, including any information as to our

statements are characterized by words such as "plan," "expect," "budget,"
"target," "project," "intend," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate" and other
similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will"
occur. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions, assumptions and
estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are
made, and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and
other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
These factors include possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates,
fluctuating metal prices (such as gold, copper, silver and zinc), prices for
sulfuric acid and currency exchange rates (such as Brazilian Real versus the
US Dollar), changes in the Company's hedging program, changes in accounting
policies, changes in the Company's corporate resources, changes in project
parametres, changes in project development and production time frames, the
possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses,
higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labour and other consumables
contributing to higher cash costs and general risks of the mining industry,
failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, unexpected
changes in levels of sustainability of production, successful completion and
operation of the ore pass at Gualcamayo, final pricing for concentrate sales,
unanticipated results of future studies, seasonality and unanticipated weather
changes, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the
Company's annual Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information
Form filed with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces of
Canada and available at www.sedar.com, and the Company's Annual Report on Form
40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those
described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause
actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There
can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate,
as actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update

financial and operational performance and results as at and for the periods
referenced and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
